G4687–σπείρω–speirō

look to the fowls of the heaven, for they do not sow, nor reap, nor gather into storehouses, and your heavenly Father doth nourish them; are not ye much better than they?

and he spake to them many things in similes, saying: `Lo, the sower went forth to sow,

and in his sowing, some indeed fell by the way, and the fowls did come and devour them,

σπείρειν speirein “sowing”

`Ye, therefore, hear ye the simile of the sower:

σπείραντος· speirantos “having sown:”

Every one hearing the word of the reign, and not understanding -- the evil one doth come, and doth catch that which hath been sown in his heart; this is that sown by the way.

ἐσπαρμένον esparmenon “having been sown”σπαρείς. spareis “having been sown.”

`And that sown on the rocky places, this is he who is hearing the word, and immediately with joy is receiving it,

σπαρείς, spareis “having been sown,”

`And that sown toward the thorns, this is he who is hearing the word, and the anxiety of this age, and the deceitfulness of the riches, do choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.

σπαρείς, spareis “having been sown,”

`And that sown on the good ground: this is he who is hearing the word, and is understanding, who indeed doth bear fruit, and doth make, some indeed a hundredfold, and some sixty, and some thirty.'

Another simile he set before them, saying: `The reign of the heavens was likened to a man sowing good seed in his field,

σπείραντι speiranti “having sown”

`And the servants of the householder, having come near, said to him, Sir, good seed didst thou not sow in thy field? whence then hath it the darnel?

ἔσπειρας espeiras “did you sow”

Another simile he set before them, saying: `The reign of the heavens is like to a grain of mustard, which a man having taken, did sow in his field,

ἔσπειρεν espeiren “sowed”

And he answering said to them, `He who is sowing the good seed is the Son of Man,

σπείρων speirōn “sowing”

and the enemy who sowed them is the devil, and the harvest is a full end of the age, and the reapers are messengers.

σπείρας speiras “having sown”

`And he also who hath received the one talent having come, said, Sir, I knew thee, that thou art a hard man, reaping where thou didst not sow, and gathering from whence thou didst not scatter;

ἔσπειρας espeiras “you did sow”

`And his lord answering said to him, Evil servant, and slothful, thou hadst known that I reap where I did not sow, and I gather whence I did not scatter!

ἔσπειρα espeira “I sowed”

`Hearken, lo, the sower went forth to sow;

σπείρων speirōn “sowing”σπεῖραι· speirai “to sow;”

and it came to pass, in the sowing, some fell by the way, and the fowls of the heaven did come and devour it;

σπείρειν, speirein “sowing,”

He who is sowing doth sow the word;

σπείρων speirōn “sowing”σπείρει. speirei “sows.”

and these are they by the way where the word is sown: and whenever they may hear, immediately cometh the Adversary, and he taketh away the word that hath been sown in their hearts.

σπείρεται speiretai “is sown”ἐσπαρμένον esparmenon “sown”

`And these are they who toward the thorns are sown: these are they who are hearing the word,

σπειρόμενοι· speiromenoi “sown;”

`And these are they who on the good ground have been sown: who do hear the word, and receive, and do bear fruit, one thirty-fold, and one sixty, and one an hundred.'

σπαρέντες, sparentes “having been sown,”

As a grain of mustard, which, whenever it may be sown on the earth, is less than any of the seeds that are on the earth;

σπαρῇ sparēa “it may be sown”

and whenever it may be sown, it cometh up, and doth become greater than any of the herbs, and doth make great branches, so that under its shade the fowls of the heaven are able to rest.'

σπαρῇ, sparēa “it may be sown,”

`The sower went forth to sow his seed, and in his sowing some indeed fell beside the way, and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the heaven did devour it.
